30°
Here's why:
Using the well-known Pythagorian theorem we can reckon how long the hypotenuse is:
c^2=6^2+36*3 -> c=12
Knowing that sin(a)=a/c=6/12=0.5 the measure of the angle in degrees is 30°
Hope could help :)

Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

One leg of a right triangle measures 6 inches.

Leg 1 (Opposite) = 6

The other leg measure 6\sqrt{3} inches.

Leg 2 (Base ) = 6\sqrt{3}

Let the measure of angle opposite of the leg 6 inches be Ф

Using trigonometry identity

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Base}}

\tan\theta=\dfrac{6}{6\sqrt{3}}

Cancel 6 from top and bottom

\tan\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt3})

\theta=30^\circ

Hence, The measure of opposite angle of leg 6 inches is 30°

Answer:

similar triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, what are similar shapes? Well, two shapes are similar if you can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling. That means you can make one shape bigger or smaller. In this case, we know that triangles ABC and DEF are mathematically similar. The area of triangles ABC is , so we need to know the area of triangle DEF.

From math, let's call  the scaling factor, so we know that for any similar figures, the ratio of the areas of any are in proportion to . In other words, if  is the area of triangle ABC, and  is the area of triangle DEF, then we can write the following relationship:

a polygon has an area of 225 square meters. A similar polygon is created with an area that is triple the first. By what factor i
GuDViN [60]
The area of the original polygon is:
 A = 225 m ^ 2
 The similar polygon area is:
 A '= (k ^ 2) * (A)
 Substituting values:
 3 * 225 = (k ^ 2) * (225)
 Clearing k we have:
 k ^ 2 = 3
 k = (3) ^ (1/3)
 Answer:
 
The length of each side increased by:
 
k = (3) ^ (1/3)

What does a 3 in front of a square root mean?
zlopas [31]
The 3 goes with the square root you don’t need to multiply or anything like that. If you need to simply for example 3 square root of 20 which is when 3 is outside the square root sign. The 20 will be separated with 4*5 in the square root and then you will square root the 4 leaving the 5 in and bringing 2 out. Now you can’t just bring it out and forget about the 3 outside you need to multiply that 2 and 3 and you get 6! So you final answer is 6 square root 5. Hope this helps reply if you have a question!

Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth. <br> Answer options: 4.2, 3.7, 4.4, 8.9
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

= 8.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

When a chord intersects with a tangent outside a circle then we use the relationship;

X ² = AO × BO, Where A and are the points of intersection of the chord an the circle, while O is the point of intersection between the chord and the tangent.

Therefore;

x² = 4 × 20 or 8 × 10

x² = 80

x = √80

= 8.944

 ≈ 8.9
